Shanghai Masters 2017: Here’s how Rafael Nadal’s draw is looking

The draw has been made for Shanghai ATP Masters 1000.

Rafael Nadal is top-seeded in Shanghai, where he reached the final in 2009 (l. to Davydenko). The left-hander will face either Jared Donaldson or Pablo Cuevas in the second round, as the top-eight seeds receive opening byes.

Our champ is joined by fourth seed Marin Cilic in the top half of the draw, with second seed Roger Federer projected to face off against third seed Alexander Zverev in the other semifinal.

Congratulations Rafa on another magnificent week 👏and another trophy🏆.You are going from strength💪 to strength and deserved your win today in more ways than one. Disappointed that the shine was taken off the final because of your opponent’s antics, but all credit to you for blocking it out and not allowing to ruin your game. Enjoy your win and good luck in Shanghai.
Note to Nick – please bring on a coach to help you with basic manners and respectfulness.

Hi Susie I have changed my opinion on him again, gets a bit to mutch after a while , if he wants to waste his talent ,I say let him . He should have played basketball , watching him in the lava cup he suits a team environment , I don’t think he can handle being out on the court by himself .

I wish we could just get on with the match, instead of having time wasted with Nick’s nonsense, so disrespectful to Rafa and the umpire, always happens when he’s losing. For someone who says he doesn’t like the publicity that tennis brings, he certainly likes to draw the attention to himself on court .
